The way I see it is that I was and continue to be a support person at 
wordpress.org just the same as I was 6 months / a year ago. I do not 
think anything has changed there.
The work I do for Automattic is not related to wordpress.org
It is related to wordpress, but not wordpress.org
So yes I am compensated for what I do elsewhere but I really do not see 
that I am compensated for the .org forums. Call it whatever, call me 
naive but I honestly do see a distinction between the two.

I wanted this clarifying because people will start to say "Oi, listen to 
me, you are being paid to!" and it WILL happen. I do not want that to 
happen.

Okay - compromise: Say _precisely_ what you think. Saying "some" is bad, 
very bad. Just say "Podz is".
I'm not - see above - but if it keeps the peace......
